Hi, m Sahil from India. I have applied for master degree in English Philology study visa in Poland at British College, Warsaw. I want to confirm whether there are any job opportunities for me there so that i can work part time also & pay my expenses up there. & also send some money back to India to my parents. Please help as m very very confused right now.

It will be very difficult, almost impossible for you to find employment unless a) you have a skill that no one else possesses and b) you speak Polish to a standard where you can converse with the locals. There maybe opportunities for you in any Indian restaurants (washing up,cooking), but this will not get you anywhere.

Any prospective employer has to apply for a working visa for you - and in a country where there are thousands of Polish students looking for work, it is unlikely that they will bother.

Exactly what working skills do you possess that someone might be interested?

If you BA/BSc is recognized in Poland, you can apply to SCC (Shared centres) for a job.It is worth contacting them to see if they could use you. I have seen few Indian people in Krakow, (must be some in Warsaw) so the jobs are there.

Make sure that the MA (supposedly in English) is worth the paper it's written on. Generally, you will NOT have native speakers of English. Search on the internet for the Professors achievements (papers, publications, books). Otherwise you are just wasting your time.

Why do you want to study English philology? To be honest, your level of English is not good enough to do a Masters in the subject. You'd be better off sticking with accountancy and taking some kind of MBA or advanced qualification in the field where you already have experience and qualifications.

Ok I took a quick look at the British College website - it's a total waste of your money in my opinion. The English on their site is not that of a native speaker and there are no details at all about the staff. The 'message from the Principal' is simply signed 'Principal', no name, nothing and has various errors in syntax. In the English of a native speaker, this place is what we'd call a mickey mouse operation. If you're going to spend money coming to Poland try to study something finance related at a reputable college.

It's practically impossible for a foreign student to get a job in Poland. Make your plans on the very safe assumption that you will never be able to earn a single penny during your stay in Poland. If you need to earn money to finance your studies and stay, then Poland is not the country for you.

Foreign students can only work during the summer vacation, when jobs for students are difficult to find even for Polish students. Being allowed to work and actually finding a job are two different things. It is extremely unlikely that you will be able to find a job. Your chances of getting struck by lightning, being eaten by a shark or winning the lottery are much, much higher. Being allowed to work doesn't mean anything if no one will hire you.

Like I said, if you need to work to finance your studies and stay, then forget about Poland. It's not a realistic option. Study in India, or in one of the rich countries of Western Europe, or an English-speaking country, or South Korea or Singapore.

That's complete and utter bull$hit. Practically no foreign students work in Poland. I've never seen any in my twelve years at Polish universities. Stay away from worthless and dishonest "counselors" like this. They are common frauds. They get paid for recruiting naive foreign students, and they lie through their teeth. NEVER pay any money to anyone who promises to help you find a job, anywhere in the world.

Poland is rarely a good place for Indian students to study. You're much better of staying in India.

Even they are saying "student can get job in any European country after completion of study and we can go there w/o coming back to home country and also can travel European countries w/o any prior visa on Indian passport".

they are saying "student can get job in any European country after completion of study and we can go there w/o coming back to home country and also can travel European countries w/o any prior visa on Indian passport".

If that's what they are saying, then they are frauds, thieves and scam artists that are taking advantage of desperate people from poor countries. These people are common criminals. Report them to your local law enforcement authorities. If they are asking you for money, do not give them any.

Legitimate recruiters NEVER take money from prospective employees or students, and would NEVER make promises of the type you quoted above. Those promises are completely ridiculous.

@terri @mafketis @DominicBAgents are sending bunches of local students their In every intake. And part of lol is they called "sticker change" to visa renewal process..!!! "you just have to change these sticker over there"
